The essence of these suktas can be summarized here.

Before the creation of the moving and non-moving things, the Lord was existing as one without a second.  The supreme Brahaman protected the creation during the annihilation by placing it in his belly like the golden mine.  Eventually he brought it out at the right time and sustained the prithivi( earth) and dyuoloka( land of the light) and nourished it, became protector from  all the sides.    He became prajapati(master of all living entities), and Hiranya garbha( golden womb), who else other than such supreme Brahman do  we  offer our oblation? (what can we offer, other than our dedication for His great magnanimity).  He is the one who gave us the chaitanya(consciousness), offered himself to us as Paramatama in our heart, devas and jivas follow his order, which comes as direction or advice, immortality and death are his shadow, other than such a person, who else can we offer our oblation?   (what else is there with us other than offering ourselves. (if we do not offer then we will be ungrateful).  If some one asks what great charity has the supreme done?  As He not given us the power to breath? ability to see along with the human beings even the animals have obtained this blessings (He who is every where, without any pretense, having natural compassion, how can we glorify Him?)   what else can we offer other than our own selves? (since he is the one who gave us the power to breath, so we have nothing which can be claimed as ours).  All the snow cap mountains, rivers full of nectar, and ocean which are full of such rivers, resides as the most insignificant part in the universal body of the Supreme Brahman, does it not indicate His supreme glory?  (what can we offer to such a great person, so the suktas are feeling embarrassed for their insignificance).   The limitless direction are his arms(to such person can any one feel there is anything to offer to him?). He created the sky, which is not easy to penetrate, He offered us Bhumi(mother earth) who is personification of forgiveness, the eternal planets, and to make this planets shine He also gave Aditya( sun), other than him, who else can we offer our oblations?    While the bhumi and land of the light are offering pleasing seva (सेवा | selfless service) to that person, by making themselves very pleasing, then why can’t we who are insignificant, not offer ourselves to Him?   He is the one, by his power of retas(Water elements, which is creative energy) created the five elements, all the devas, the entire cosmos, with its moving and non moving beings, to such person are we not suppose to offer ourselves?  only because of His loving glance, the entire cosmos is working coherently- because it is Sat (eternal existence).  Is that person not the supreme brahman?  He himself is the father of universe (Jagata janak) satya dharma, satya kama(whatever He desires its real) satya sankalpa( only desires that is truthful), let us not go against him, let him bestow his mercy instead his anger ( let us offer prayers directly). " My dear master of the creation, having unlimited glories, we have no one other than you to protect, our only desire is to take complete shelter of you, please bestow your mercy so that, we may always receive your grace in the world and in the other world." (In this way the great sages offer their heartfelt and emotional prayers in these suktas).

There are many more significant things in these prayers(suktas). The main characteristics of supreme brahman are described here. The suktas invite us to call supreme brahman  by any name, it does not matter, but to fight in his name is undesirable.  Therefore, Suktas have called the Lord “ka," means who is he?
